    The pop up is called scare ware, it tries to prompt you into installing some anti virus app (which is probably malware itself). In any case, don't click on anything, not even the "close" button, just back out of the screen using the back, or home buttons. Boot up in safe mode and uninstall the last app you installed just before these warnings started! If you sideloaded any apps, you are on your own, you could have anything...

    It is highly unlikely that you have any viruses on the phone.
    The "alert" is probably trying to trick you into installing something that you should not.

    Where/when does this alert appear? In your web browser? From an adware app?
